Aren't you as a Canadian capable of creating your own political party
that at least has no ties to stock fraud,money laundering gold and
mortgage scams of the U.S.Libertarian Party and Republican
'libertarian-in-chief' Ron Paul with his criminal ties to James Dale
Davidson's,Lord William Rees-Mogg's and ex CIA 'economist' Mark
Skousen's Agora Inc crime family ?!

What does the Pentagon shooter John Bedell have to do with Ron Paul, CIA 'economist' Mark Skousen and the con artists and murder suspects of Agora Inc penny stock 'holding'(and dumping),'company of Baltimore and the world wide internet ? They are all connected to and fans of a deceased idiot Austrian 'economist' named Ludwig Von Mises.As is women's rights denier Ron Paul's former aid Lew Rockwell who presents himself as a peace and love kind of right wingnut while hosting the scum of Agora Inc on his 'Misesian' website that values gold far above human life......................

The Devil in Goldman Sachs By Bill Bonner

04/26/10 Baltimore, Maryland – Poor Ol’ Goldman…

''Serious investors should pay no mind to the Goldman story. The Wall Street firm did the right thing – it helped separate the numbskulls from their money. And now, the numbskulls are moaning and the SEC is trying to salvage its reputation by prosecuting Goldman for betting the right way.'' - Bill Bonner Agora Inc's alledged founder ,Good All Round Libertarian,Misesian,Agoran Liar,Defrauder and Money Launderer ......................................... Agora Inc.'s real founder and 'Vantage Point' editor James Dale Davidson first promoted the rumor that Genemax and Endovasc penny stock shares that he pumped and dumped with David Patch of Jag Media penny stock fraud to launder money and defraud small investors were really the victims of 'naked short selling' rather than their illegal pump and dump.Canadian securities criminals and money launderers Grant Atkins and Brent Peirce worked with Beltway connected Agora Inc and National Taxpayers Union founder and Steve Forbes' crony James Dale Davidson as well and headquartered their U.S.-Canadian international Genemax penny stock fraud in Blaine,Washington that claimed a University of British Columbi 'cancer vaccine' along with their NAANSS or National Association Against Naked Short Selling organization and claimed Genemax with its LOM of Bermuda and other offshore share dumping and money laundering accounts,was instead a victim of 'naked short selling' ! There is reason to believe James Dale Davidson,Bill Bonner,et.al. of Agora Inc know something about spreading of the rumor that UK's Northern Rock as well as Fannie Mae Freddie Mac,even Goldman Savchs shares were naked shorted , rumor that even IG H David Kotz and his ex boss and SEC Chairman Christopher Cox lied about being victims of naked short selling on sec.gov website before recent disclosure of Goldman's and John Paulson's conventional(yet illegal) shorting strategy was disclosed. - Tony Ryals

Dear Paul Geddes, I was moved to write you via this internt post because perhaps you are unaware of the shady albeit Beltway or Washington,D.C. connected individuals you have aligned yourself with ? How many stock share money launderers who defraud average Americans and Canadians alike in binational and international stock fraud and money laundering ops do you encourage to to 'business' in Canada and Vancouver anyway ? You must know Bill Bonner of thedaillyreckoning.con and his and James Dale Davidson's and Lord William Rees-Mogg's and Ron Paul's Agora Inc gold,mortgage and stock fraud ops holds 'business' symposiums every year in Vancouver as it is without need of you inviting more of his corrupt gang of Newsmax and Lew Rockwell and CIA connected 'libertarians' and phoney 'Ludwig Von Mises economists' (such as the racist Jesuit Loyola University professor Walter Block and the internet Agora Inc liar,apologist and Bill Bonner co-aurthor, Lila Rajiva),to Vancouver to corrupt it further ! Do you ?!

Aren't you as a Canadian capable of creating your own political party that at least has no ties to stock fraud,money laundering gold and mortgage scams of the U.S.Libertarian Party and Republican 'libertarian-in-chief' Ron Paul with his criminal ties to James Dale Davidson's,Lord William Rees-Mogg's and ex CIA 'economist' Mark Skousen's Agora Inc crime family ?! And hopefully your party would oppose rather than condone penny stock fraud and money laundering that the whole Libertarian Party with its connections to CIA connected Agora Inc and its Ludwig Von Mises 'economists' with their voodoo economics and 'naked short selling' lie to distract from their stock fraud pumps and dumps and illegal manipulations.

''And the programs it supports are usually social-welfare busting. I’ve also noted connections between Agora and the CIA, including the employment of former CIA agents, and the appearance of former CIA director William Casey’s Colby’s name on an Agora newsletter. But it’s not unheard of for financial newsletters/ tip-sheets to use former government employees or intelligence officers to ferret out economic tips.'' - Lila Rajiva

Women's rights denier Ron Paul is part of Agora Inc just as your guests Lila Rajiva and Loyala University's rascist 'Misesian economist' Walter Block because he hangs in the same circles as Mark Skousen and 'libertarian' Bud Burrell who lies and makes death threats because I have complained to the U.S.SEC for years over his and Patrick Byrne's and James Dale Davidson's lies about 'naked short selling' or share counterfeiting causing collapse of their money laundering penny stock pump and dump scams ! And strangely Pentagon gunman of a while back was a Ludwig Von Mises fan as well just like Lila Rajiva and Walter Block and all the Lew Rockwell-Agora Inc gang ! Are you proud to be part of their frauds against small investors and international money laundering crime family !?

Dear SEC, I was only beginning to organize my thoughts about the Republican 'Libertarian' Ron Paul's statements re SHO to the SEC,(U.S Securities Exchange Commission),that were only recently posted here. However no sooner was I getting over the shock that Mr.Ron Paul was aiding the fraudulent penny stock naked shorting claim of his well heeled Libertarian pals such as the NTU founder James Dale Davidson, Porter Stansberry,Bill Bonner,et.al.,than 'news' came out of England that Northern Rock was a victim of 'naked short selling' as well..

Blaine,Washington and Naked Short Selling Claim Fraud

It should also be noted that this U.S. penny stock scam,(that claims U.S.penny stocks to be victims of 'naked short selling' or share counterfeitting),that I have been following for some years,besides having a Beltway and perhaps NSA or CIA connection by way of the scumbag James Dale Davidson,founder of Steve Forbes',Grover Norquist's,et.al.'s National Taxpayers Union as well as the internet penny stock tout or promotion machine Agora Inc of Baltimore - has a Blaine,Washington connection.In 2002 the office of Genemax with a supposed University of British Columbia patent for a 'cancer vaccine' was headquartered in Blaine. The criminals involved included James Dale Davidson author of scammy 'investment' books with the British Lord William Rees-Mogg as well as convicted Canadian penny stock scheiters Brent Pierce and Grant Atkins.

In the same Blaine,Washington office where they promoted the cancer cure scam Genemax and while they dumped those shares from offshore accounts such as LOM of Bermuda they also housed their ICI or Investor Communications Internationsl penny stock promotion op as well as NAANSS or National Association Againsnt Naked Short Selling that was used to fraudulentlty claim that Genemax and other scammy penny stocks they owned or received free shares of were not losing value because they were selling(dumping)those worthless shares in the U.S. penny stock 'market' but because someones or brokers or whatever were 'naked shorting' them.

Because this little episode is part of Blaine little known or unknown history it is also interesting to note the far right Davidson,founder of the far right pro Bush 'news' website,newsmax,once supported Bill Clinton just as he did Republican far right Bush dad,George Herbert Walker Bush, before that.It was not until later in the Clinton presidency he turned on Clinton for some reason and led the Washington,D.C. BLACK OPS CAMPAIGN TO BLAME THE DEATH AND PROBABLE SUICIDE OF CLINTON CHILDHOOD FRIEND VINCE FOSTER ON BILL CLINTON HIMSELF ! ..........................

Lila Rajiva a presumed native of India(who Jimbo Wales and his Wikpedia allow to write her own biography that omits all details of her or its true past writes with crocodile tears about the Abu Graibe rape of Iraqis and the financial rape of Americans is part of the 'naked short selling' lie created by her boss National Taxpayers Union and Agora Inc founder James Dale Davidson who, along with Canadian penny stock money launderers Grant Atkins and Brent Pierce in 2002 with their nakedshortselling.com NAANSS or National Association Against Naked Short Selliing located in the same Blaine,Washington office where they pumped and dumped Genemax,(named for newwsmax.com ?).Lila Rajiva has acknowledged Agora Inc.'s and thus Ron Paul's,et.al.'s CIA connections as quoted above.She has also acknowledged Agora Inc.'s stock fraud operations and connections to suspicious deaths or murders that includes the mysteriious death of Agora Inc. and Porter Stansberry employee Rey Rivera in 2006.:

The most interesting part of this little history is that the Royal Society of Liechtenstein was sold off, changing its name to the Oxford Club, which has been since then a part of Agora Inc. (Update, April 8, 2010: It merged with a pre-existing newsletter, The Passport Club (according to Agora’s website). The Brown death was never seriously investigated, say some SEC officials, who believe it was a murder. What’s even more interesting is that Nadel’s Chief Operating Office, Mark Ford, who was also banned from selling stocks directly as a result of the settlement with the SEC, changed his name to Michael Masterson, and followed the Royal Society of Liechtenstein to Agora Inc., as part of Oxford Club and as a consultant).

(Update, March 8: I notice that the websites of the company as well as its affiliates have changed and that Masterson is no longer listed on the website of Oxford Club). - Lila Rajiva

. The above modus operandi described by Lila Rajiva of removing incriminating material from their websites is common to all Libertarian - Agora Inc criminals.Ms.Rajiva engages in it herself. The email below from Lila Rajiva denying that James Dale Davidson was a (or the) founder of Agora Inc,(that she had removed from the internet or at least David Marchant’s offshorebusiness.com and the sec.gov site),clearly shows she is the one who contacted me and lied about James Dale Davidson not being a founder and no longer being involved with Agora.In fact this was a ruse of Davidson,Bonner,Porter Stansberry(who I corresponded with)and their new con artist Lila Rajiva to try and get me to stop my criticisms of the Agora Inc pump and dump money laundering operations.

Subject: Re Agora and Davidson Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2005 00:25:56 Dear Mr. Ryall, I read with interest your articles on the net regarding Agora Publishing and the stock ventures of the founder, James Dale Davidson. However, I was led to believe that Bill Bonner well-known copywriter and author is the founder. Can you please clarify this as I have had some dealings with the latter gentleman and am concerned about such connections. Could it be that you are mistaken in your accusations? Sincerely Lila Rajiva

Dear Mr. Ryals: Thank you for all this information. I will certainly keep it in mind. I plan to work for Mr. Bonner only in a limited way and with nothing to do with his stock activities or selling. I am a writer and and planning on working on a book with him that has nothing to do with finances. I appreciate this information and do thank you for it. But I am not in a position to ascertain the truth of it and don’t have the time as well. I hope that you will be able to recoup your losses. I sincerely feel for you about that as I suffered similar losses through unscrupulous individuals. Kind regards Lila Rajiva

Lila Rajiva& lrajiva (at) hotmail.com To: endoscam (at) lycos.com Subject: Re: Re Agora and Davidson Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2005 02:19:44 Dear Mr. Ryals, I did speak to Mr. Bonner about Porter Stansberry. He was very forthcoming and adhered to the position that he was not guilty of any legal wrong doing, such as pump and dump. He seemed a very open and sincere individual so I am a bit puzzled.It’s quite possible that some of his associates are involved things he is not aware of. Or that they were only inexperienced or needlessly zealous, which was unfortunate, but may not be illegal. Do let me know if you come across anything else. Lila Rajiva

......................................... Another penny stock scam artist named Bud Burrell also spread lies about me on thesanitycheck.com and makes death and torture threats against me.It is rumored that James Dale Davidson has contributed money to maintain that website and provided cell phones to its operators although Overstock.con’s Patrick Byrne takes credit for funding it.And Patrick Byrne(son of Geico billionaire Jack) gave the most in campaign donations to ex Utah Gov Jon Huntsman who is now Barack Obama’s Ambassador to China ! Lila likes to post on their deepcapture.con website.All their many scam websites are for express purpose of fraudulently claiming their stock many scams’ share prices fall because of ‘naked shorting’(by a ‘Sith Lord) according to Byrne,rather than being illegal pumps and dumps the U.S.SEC does nothing about.I call it stock share money laundering and NOT ‘naked shorting’ which is a term James Dale Davidson virtually made up in 2002 when he created NAANSS or National Association Against Naked Shorting and claimed in his Agora Inc Vantage Point newsletter and internet cyberfraud promotion that Genemax and Endovasc were not pumps and dumps but instead had been ‘naked shorted’.Ha.

Below I invoke your fellow 'Libertarian' Bud Burrell's greetings,(he attended a Libertarian gathering in Arizona with your guest,Loyola University racist and economic con artist,Walter Block),copyrighted 2008 to you as he will probably not make it to Vancouver for your May 8 shindig.:

AKA Canadian Libertarian Paul Geddes has been rumored to be everything from a transexual imposter, to a serial pervert and worse, to a member of NAMBLA (North American Man Boy Love Association), to a convicted felon, to a roll Confidential Informant (the USG never met a felon they didn't love if he was a roll), and far worse. These many malicious and vicious rumors are unfortunate even if proven not precisely or completely true. That is no different than his stories.

He/She slanders with the rough and unhewn skills of a second rate tabloid journalist, without regard to who he/she harms, and certainly without resort to facts. He/She should be working with The New York Times. He/She isn't worthy of a good glass of piss, but no one ever gets to tell him/her to his/her face, because, surprise, surprise, he/she is never seen.

I know many would love to have very rough conversation (look up this in a dictionary) with him/her over about a week, or a month, but it would be a waste of time in any event. Besides, it would be too much fun, very undisciplined.

Someday in the future, his/her veil will be ripped away, and the enemy predators can feed on his/her liver. That would be more fun than a barrel of monkeys to watch. The clock ticks every moment on this dirt bag's very existence.

There will be no universality to this outcome. No one will mourn his loss. John Donne will be damned.

Years ago, I developed a little Buddhist displacement concept called "My Short List". Being a rather high risk bet for an untimely death, I took the names of the small number of people I have found to be without redeeming human virtue, to be used in the last few weeks of my time, with the plan to send some scouts on ahead to check out the terrain. Of the nine men and one woman on that list, only two survive. I can't claim credit for this, since God has beaten me to them. It is the nature of the physical risks faced by all really negative borderline sociopaths (the 1% that are so broken they can't be fixed) that their own bodies tend to turn on them very hard.

Enjoy your perversions while you can. The clock is ticking on your worthless existence. You have chosen the worst enemy of all, God. You can't win. Where you are headed, they don't read wills.

Ms. Paul, With hugs and kisses from all your admirers and detractors, ESAD.

Everyone re-post this link as many places as you can. It is the key to good search engine positioning/standing and we certainly want to get to the empty bottom of this barrel of waste that represents Burrell' life.

Besides being a 'Libertarian' like yourself,Mr.Geddes,Bud Burrell has also has some Canada stock fraud and money laundering experience by way of CMKX Diamonds that he also claims was not an illegal pump and dump but a 'victim off naked short selling' just like James Dale Davidson's,Brent Pierce's and Grant Atkins Genemax cancer vaccine fraud with its Nevada and Vancouver connections !

Better Than the Winter Olympics: Lila Rajiva and Walter Block in ... 24 Mar 2010 by Robert Wenzel Walter Block reports:On Saturday, May 8, an all day libertarian seminar will take place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (home of the winter Olympics, where the Canadians kicked American butt, at least on a per capita basis). ... www.economicpolicyjournal.com/

In light of CIA connected money launderers and parasites Walter Block and by association Vancouver Libertarian Paul Geddes cavort with I certainly don't think criticising blacks and women for 'poor work productivity' is even tolerable.It would appear that Walter Block and by association Paul Geddes are saying that 'fraud is good work' in light of the fact all the white males they are associated with that I know about are penny stock money launderers and in some cases murder suspects !

Note below that Lila Rajiva,Agora Inc internet call girl or woman or whatever for Bill Bonner,James Dale Davidson,Porter Stansberry,et.al.,claims to have met corrupt Wall Street parasite and 'journailst' Gary Weiss 'on the message boards that he haunted' ! And she doesn't name the 'message board' of course because it is not supposed to be a simple 'message board' as such - it is Wikipedia where she and 'Mantamoreland' or Gary Weiss were busy erasing my biographical contribution for James Dale Davidson who along with Canadian criminals Brent Pierce and Grant Atkins made up the tem 'naked shhort selling' to distract from their use of U.S.penny stocks for theft and money laundering ! And it should further be addded that Lila Rajiva is a habitual liar and is the one who began the 'stalking' of me(even though her 'libertarian' naked short liar colleagueBud Burrell posts lies and death threats to me with Lila's obvious approval) by emailing me about my claim the her bosses at Agora Inc were involved in serious multi million or billion dollar stock fraud ongoing for decades since they founded Agora Inc that employs Lila Rajiva to stalk and harrass victims of their scams such as myself and basically perform internet dirty tricks just as her pal Judd Bagley did for Jeb Bush while he was governor of the corrupt penny stock money laundering state of Florida ! In fact the scum of deepcapture.com of Patrick Byrne,ex WSJ 'reporter' Mark Mitchell,Bud Burrell Daviud Patch,Mark Faulk,et.al. have threatened my life and intimidated me and Lila Rajiva whose 'friends' at Agora Inc Bill Bonner,James Dale Davidson and particularly Porter Stansberry, are still suspect in the death of a Rey Rivera in Baltimore in 2006 were the first internet stock manipulators on the internet besides NAANSS or National Association Against Naked Short Selling that was founded by Agora Inc founder James Dale Davidson and the Canadian money launderers Brent Pierce and Grant Atkins - to lie about Davidson's wortjhless penny stocks being victims of 'naked short selling' ! So the fact that Lila Rajiva is employed by the very criminals who threaten my life for exposing the penny stock money laundering frauds such as Bud Burrell who is also part of the Canadian minerals penny fraud incorporated in Nevada called CMKX Diamonds that has lied about its shares being 'naked shorted' while its insiders and execs such as Canadian shesiter named Urban Casavant,Mark Faulk,Bud Burrell all lied about its shares being 'naked shorted' - a term that can be trced back to the CIA connected Agora Inc and James Dale Davidson that Canadian scum like Paul Geddes invites to Canada as if they were common good businessmen - which they are not - they are U.S.and apparently Canadian government protected criminals ! Yes the Agora Inc and Loyola sleaze Geddes invites to Vancouver also have CIA,etc. connections as Lila Rajiva and ex CIA 'economist' Mark Skousen can verify !

Even Paul Geddes American 'Libertarian' role model Ron Paul has lied about stocks being 'naked shorted' to the U.S.SEC itself ! Does Vancouver Libertarian Paul Geddes approve of stock fraud and rascism directed at African Americans the way Loyola University's Walter Block attacked and defamed them !? And all the while the parasite Walter Block sitting in his Loyala academic ivory tower in New Orleans and Baltimore(where and Ludwig Von Mises and Lew Rockwell Agora Inc criminals operate from)

...one young man asked about the pay gap between blacks and whites, which I had said in my lecture was of about the same magnitude as that between females and males, about 25–30%. My answer, of course, was in terms of lower productivity. After all, if black people had the same productivity as white people on average, but were paid less, then there would be profit opportunities available to all those who hired blacks and fired whites, and such a situation could never last.

But why was this so: Why, that is, would this minority group have lower productivity than the majority? Surely, it couldn’t be attributed to marriage asymmetry? No, I replied. And here I was very careful to say that the cause was a matter of dispute, and that I, as an economist, was not in a position to say which was correct. Instead, I would merely offer both options, and call for the audience to make up its own mind on this issue. The politically correct answer is that lower black productivity is due to slavery, Jim Crow legislation, poor treatment of African-Americans in terms of schooling, etc. The politically incorrect explanation was supplied by Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray in their book The Bell Curve: lower black IQs.- quote ftom Walter Block who is Vancouver Libertarian Paul Geddes guest of honor even though he appears to have relations with notorious Agora Inc penny stock money launderers and mortgage and gold fraud suspects........

In 2007 a rumor was circulated in the London Times(of Rupert Murdoch and Lord William Rees-Mogg),as well as The Guardian that Nothern Rock shares were really 'naked shorted' or counterfeitedd by some unnamed or unknown entity in order to cover up the Goldam Sachs and John Paulson and others roles in manipulating and shorting the stock themselves.Yes I believe the Agora Inc Libertarians and Misesiand played a role however humble themselves.Some of their shares of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac may have been dumped from LOM of Bermuda where the Lord Willian Rees-Mogg and James Dale Davidson were large shareholders at one time.Also movemments or sales from Leumi Bank Israel to China Switzerland and places in between should be investigated. But we must never forget where this ruumor-lie originated - with Canadian American penny stock Genemax of James Dale Davidson and Canadian scheisters Brent Pierce and Grant Atkins ! Do they as Canadians have U.S. 'intelligence' connections as well in order to always escape prosecution ?

Note the corrupt SEC Inspector General H David Kotz who was appointed by corrupt ex SEC Chairman Christopher Cox both have lied on the public record about Goldman Sachs shares being 'naked shorted' by some unknown brokerage or whatever in 2008 on the U.S.government's own sec.gov website ! If the shares that were dumped by Goldman and no doubt others in this criminal racketeering operation using offshore accounts to dump from had been 'naked shorts' or 'counterfeit shares',a definition the con artists all agee on to describe what they call 'naked short selling',then the shares that were counterfeit would be noticed by the DTCC and they would not be paid a dividend !

This naked short selling lie is a trillion dollar fraud that members of your Libertarian Party are responsible for.And Agora Inc with its CIA connections is supect in murder as well.Are you proud,Paul Geddes ?

...............

Note Lila Rajiva contacts me again in 2008 and continues lie about James Dale Davidson's non involement in Agora Inc which he founded and that his co-author UK's Lord William Rees-Mogg of Sovereign Individual and Blood in the Streets,etc, is still part of Agora Inc stock fraud against Americans ops and money laundering as well.

Re: BFI Consulting,Mark Skousen,Lila Rajiva By Lila Rajiva on 1/30/2008 1:20:04 PM E-mail: lrajiva (at) hotmail.com Hi Tony, Yes I did say I wouldn't be involved in Agora's stock selling in 2005. And guess, what. It's 2008 and I haven't been. I have never sold a single stock for them. As for Jim Davidson, I believe his association with Agora has been terminated for some years and no one there defends him. The investment advice that I've read in the Agora newsletters that I've followed has been basically useful - and provided at very reasonable terms. Too bad I haven't always followed it. Do I have a problem with some of their "hard sell" language? Yes, I do. And I expressed it to several people there quite vociferously and incessantly. I think some of them became quite bored and annoyed with me over it. But not all of their advisories use those tactics. Many are quite low-key and all of them do give you your money back. In any case, the company is very free-wheeling and there are lots of very different people doing very different things. I decided at the time that it was unfair to tar everyone with the mistakes of a few and chose to work on Mr. Bonner's Daily Reckoning column as an idea person, research assistant, and editor from late 2005- mid 2007. And to write a book with him. I decided that the good of bringing some political home truths to people in the influential financial world far outweighed the bad of possibly having people like yourself leap to wrong conclusions. In an important election year, that was actually a no-brainer for me. How is that wrong? In 2005, when Mr. Bonner approached me about the book, he did indeed intend it to be a pop sociology book and not financial. And most of the book, even in its finished version, is about politics and history. We added a financial and investment section later mainly because the publisher needed that to sell the book, since finance is the field where Mr. Bonner is best-known. Besides, the investment advice Mr. Bonner gave in the book was extremely general. Not was it necessarily what I think. In a joint effort, it's not possible to always agree on all things. I think I mention that in the preface to the book. Funny thing is if you had followed his advice over the last couple of years, you'd have doubled your money... FYI, here's an account of how the book was written: www.thehindubusinessline.com/2007/11/23/stories/2007112350660900.htm As for my qualifications, you're wrong there too. I have an undergraduate degree in economics and history and did graduate work in International Relations (MA)- where I read a healthy quantity of economics. I currently contribute to the whackonomics column of the Hindu, which, if you've ever read it, answers questions on finance and economics from people in the field. I have also studied the market and trading on my own for seven years. I think I can hold my own in understanding how finance works in the real world. In any case, if you read our book, you will see a large part of it is a debunking of the notion of economics as a science like physics. We think a knowledge of history and human psychology is more important. Since I have graduate training in history, politics, and philosophy, I'm pretty well qualified I think. By the way, the year before I wrote the book about Abu Ghraib, I was making (trying to make) my living as a swing trader...so my interest in finance is quite long standing and preceded my social activism. I see no conflict between the two, actually. On your other accusations: I was invited to speak at BFI Consulting's conference to promote "Mobs, Messiahs and Markets." I wasn't going to talk about investments but about how governments destroy savings. Had I chosen to speak about anything to do with investment, it would have been about the global real estate market, which I know quite well. As for Dr.Mark Skousen, I have never met him personally, but he was kind enough to blurb our book and point out errors in the MS. I owe him gratitude at least for that. From what I know, he is an erudite and accomplished author/teacher in the areas of economics and philosophy. I am also aware that he has worked with the CIA, but that is all I know and I don't think you are right to draw any conclusions about me from that. I hope you are not naive enough to believe that everyone connected with the CIA routinely engages in water boarding on weekends. It's a large, mostly bureaucratic organization. The fact that I might have accepted an invitation to speak at the same conference where Dr. Skousen was also speaking says nothing. I also correspond with an Indian friend of (the late) Milton Friedman. I suppose you would say that makes me complicit in South American torture, as Naomi Klein seems to think. Actually, I consider Dr. Friedman a statist and far from being libertarian. but I doubt that even statist economics inevitably leads to a painful death. Finally, my birth data is not on the Internet, because I don't give it out. Put it down to the fragile egos of women over the age of thirty. If there's anything else you'd like to know, please feel free to drop me an email, instead of taking it to an Internet web page.
